EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment during the retreat from Brussels in August 1914. In the midst of conflict, a Belgian soldier, wounded in the leg, collapses by the roadside. His comrade, filled with unwavering friendship and compassion, swiftly throws down his rifle to render first aid. The image is a stark reminder of the casualties endured during World War One. The soldier's pain and vulnerability are palpable as he lies on the ground, while his fellow comrade selflessly tends to his wounds. Their uniforms bear witness to their shared struggle and sacrifice for their country. Published on page seven of the Daily Mirror on August 22nd, 1914, this photograph serves as a powerful testament to both human resilience and camaraderie amidst adversity. It encapsulates not only the physical toll of war but also highlights the enduring bond between soldiers who rely on each other for support in times of crisis. Preserved through time by Tom Grant at Memory Lane Prints, this evocative image transports us back to an era defined by conflict yet marked by acts of compassion and solidarity. It reminds us that even amidst chaos and destruction, there remains room for empathy and unity among those affected by war's devastating consequences.
